Ty's Take
When the University of Montana Western comes to town for football this weekend, they're walking into a Rocky squad that's figured out how to win the games that matter. Three straight victories to open the season, including that upset over Southern Oregon in soccer and the women's team's statement win in the same match, tells you something about the direction of athletics around here right now. Meanwhile, down on Rimrock Road, Billings Clinic is tangled up in a federal lawsuit over website tracking practices, the kind of privacy fight that's hitting hospitals and clinics everywhere these days. And if you've lost someone this week, our neighbors' obituaries remind us again that this community, for all its growth and its sprawl up into the Heights, still knows how to grieve together.
